So I had to borrow a vehicle the other night to go pick up our poor Sedona, which runsamuck left sitting on the off-ramp at Harbor Blvd.in Costa Mesa. We consoled ourselves with In N Out while we waited for the tow truck - it was right next to the exit. The guy gave us a tow to the dealership, and we dropped it off. They told us the next day it had thrown a rod and would likely need a rebuild or new engine. Today we got the cost. So much for our tax refund, which I had been planning to put toward some things in my dad's estate.

Cripes. do they send out the the self-destruct signal along with your pink slip? Talk about planned obsolescence.
